Serendipity 7,821 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Disaster movies. You really have to admire their penchant for the over the top. ‘San Andreas’ might come with a horrendously awful script and some of the worst acting ever witnessed since the dawn of man ............................including an utterly pointless character called Susan played by Kylie Minogue............................................ Chances are you’ll find ‘San Andreas’ so utterly cringing that the idea of your mother performing ‘Bootylicious’ by Destiny’s Child in Downey’s Bar in Shipquay Street will start to sound appealing. The sheer amount of verbal diarrhoea peddled in this film is enough to really make you want to consider whether or not the evolution of man has come as far as it possibly can. You would think that after all this that it would be impossible for ‘San Andreas’ to have any redeeming features and whilst you’re, to a certain extent, on the right path, the film’s special effects are outstanding. The sheer magnitude of the devastation caused by the earthquake is tremendous and there are moments of great suspense and entertainment. Moville lad, Art Parkinson, is quite good as happy go lucky Ollie and does steal some scenes with great comedy timing. ‘San Andreas’ is one of those films that comes along every once in a while that in order to truly appreciate its absurd antics you really must see it for yourself!

Quasi 10,921 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I don't watch disaster movies for the dialogue and script. I watch disaster movies to watch s*** blow up. Sometimes you just wanna tell movie critics to stop being so serious, take several seats, and enjoy the chaos. I don't understand pineapples, so I don't eat bananas.

Sunday 2,177 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I kinda knew this was gonna happen. Movies like these are usually too weak to hold on to their weaves. Heck the acting in the trailer itself is tragic tbh. Not dragging disaster movies btw. I'm talking about the scripts and the acting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwontell 7,312 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It's an action/disaster movie...ppl go to see crazy special effects, explosions, bewbs (with some luck)...they don't watch it "despite" the bad acting and ****ty script, they watch it BECAUSE of them...I mean, Schwarzeneger 80's action movies? Comedic gold (even if involuntarily)!EDIT: I just remembered the reviews of "Battleship". Poor Rih ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey 3,017 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Don't know why people would pay to see garbage like this instead of quality pictures like the new Mad Max. Somehow San Andreas has raked in more money, though. "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.

Koreku 2,387 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mad Max is a high budget film with an A-list cast and explosions Is it? oops i'm assuming it reeled in a good first week office despite getting beaten by San Andreas?

Hellspont 1,468 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 That's the issue with critic reviews for disaster movies. I am not buying a ticket to go watch good acting or writing, I want to see a lot of people die and the world getting destroyed which San Andreas accomplished pretty well.

Bad Bromance 5,809 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I can't wait to see the movie to see The Rock! Well, disaster movies are some of my favorite types of movies along with horror films. I don't care what you think about unless it is about me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
